Otoko Game: Male protagonists, I’m just a scumbag

When the voice at the door sounded, when the princess's name was rang out, he could hardly help but raise his eyes, but he was like a rat in the gutter peeking at the dazzling sun from the ditch.

Things that crawl in the dark all year round dare not look at bright things at all, and even the faint light coming from afar is terrifying to them.

But it’s not that I don’t want to watch it, I just feel fear, panic and embarrassment.

He was the gutter rat when he saw the Princess and the Crown Prince walk in holding hands in matching outfits.

His throat felt like a stone was stuffed into it, unable to move up or down, and he was having trouble swallowing.

My heart was dry and painful, and all the blood in my body seemed to have coagulated and turned into a wasteland.

When had he ever felt such helpless pain? It was when his mother died, when her blood dried up, her body temperature turned cold, and she was completely silent.

The pain he felt had turned into numbness, and when the dead tree came back to life and sprouted a few buds, it was trampled upon again.

In fact, they didn't do anything. They just dropped a burnt-out match on the dry wood.

Wei Lan couldn't help but frown as he listened to these discussions one after another.

This is just like cyberbullying in real life. No one thinks it's a big deal. Everyone talks about it lightly, treating it as a joke.

But I don't know how much harm this will cause to him.

But he couldn't say anything now.

When King William saw them coming, he immediately came up to greet them with a big smile. Queen Dailian also had a big smile on her face, but it was unclear how much of that was true.

Some people in the crowd started discussing again.

"Why does King William look so happy? Aren't you afraid that he might do something else?"

"You don't understand. Who wouldn't want to curry favor with the Iris Kingdom when it came? The Iris Kingdom was invincible because of its previous actions.

Didn't the Rose King want to use his daughter to curry favor with him at the beginning?

Originally, someone had vaguely asked about the small battle between the Iris Kingdom and the Rose Kingdom, and King Ryan responded tactfully, saying that

I just wanted to establish diplomatic relations with the Rose Country, so I lost on purpose."

"But because of what happened this morning, wasn't he completely slapped in the face? Look at the wound on Crown Prince Ryan's face. Doesn't that show that the Rose Country doesn't care about him? And look at Crown Prince William. He's so brave. It's obvious that they are not on the same level."

"Hmm..." The man was a little confused.

"If that's the case, then why did the Rose King try to curry favor with him in the first place? Wouldn't it be enough to just ask his eldest son to come back? Wouldn't it be enough for the Crown Prince to just cooperate with the show once he showed up?"

"Ah! I heard that! That Crown Prince William doesn't listen to the King and Queen at all! He doesn't even choose where to fight which is beneficial to him. He just follows his heart and is not subject to discipline."

"Then why doesn't the king abolish him completely? What's the point of keeping him like this?"

The man sighed, as if he didn't want to explain to him anymore.

"How should I know! You have so many questions, why not become a worm in someone else's stomach?"

----

King Ryan listened to all these different opinions and wished he could go up and chop them all to pieces one by one.

Those national nobles who came to curry favor with him no longer approached him, but gathered around King William, making him laugh.

And all of these reasons ultimately come down to his youngest son, Al Ryan, who was standing uselessly in the corner.

He was so angry that he was shaking all over, with cloudy whites in his eyes. Looking at Al's appearance, he wanted to hit him, his heart was filled with rage.

But he still thanked everyone like a gentleman, then left and walked to Al.

The old, sagging face was tightly knitted together. He stood in front of Al when no one was paying attention. His terrifying expression made him look like an old witch who wanted to eat people.

"What are you doing standing here?!" He lowered his voice but couldn't hide his anger.

"I've been telling you all afternoon to be more careful at the dinner! Cheer up! What on earth was I thinking of bringing you here? You useless thing!"

King Llane scolded him, but Al stood there motionless, and if you looked closely, you could see that he was definitely shaking.

King Leon laughed in anger. He was even more angry when he saw him like this, but he couldn't hit him. He could only push him hard on the back.

"Go now! Do you want others to laugh at you?"

Al staggered after being pushed, but he did not try to steady himself.

He laughed in his heart, what a joke...?

Hasn't he become a joke?

From childhood to adulthood, no matter what he did, he was always the one who was laughed at. Compared with his older brother, he was a joke.

Weren't every word those people snorted and laughed directed at him?

But when he was about to fall, a figure suddenly appeared beside him, swaying in the light, and then a pair of warm hands caught him.

The king's majestic voice with a smile rang in his ears, and he glared at him from where no one else could see, and shouted:

"Princess Stephen."

Al felt as if he had fallen into boiling water and immediately stood up straight.

But I still recall the touch of those hands. In this gradually warming weather, they didn't seem hot, but extremely warm, just like the sun in winter.

"Greetings, King Ryan." Wei Lan smiled at him politely, but he couldn't help cursing in his heart.

Damn, if he hadn’t been paying attention to this side just now, he would have clearly sensed that something was wrong.

He almost felt that this child, Al, was about to break into pieces, and King Ryan was still trying to pua him.

He shouldn't have cared. From now on, everything he did with Al was over, but he really couldn't bear to watch or hear it anymore.

He might be a bit like the one he was scolded for, a bit of a saint.

King Ryan saw that Al had no reaction at all, glared at him sideways, and immediately spoke,

"Al, what are you standing there for?"

Although it looks like an ordinary question, it is full of the oppression of a father towards his children, and it is suffocating.

Al still didn't dare to look at Wei Lan. He just clenched his fists tightly and trembled uncontrollably.

What was he going to say?

Should I ask? No, he didn't even have the courage to do so. He thought again of the words he heard outside the door, using him, tempting him, giving him a chance, all of this was intentional.

He seemed to hear the laughter of Crown Prince William again in his ears, that laughter full of victory, which made his breathing difficult and the pain unbearable.

In just half a day, his relationship with the princess seemed to have changed.

But he still yearns for him, for his gentleness, for his protection, for his smile...

He couldn't believe that the princess's kindness to him was fake.

It doesn’t matter if it’s fake… He wants to get his princess….

Even if it's just using yourself.

But what he didn't know was that before long, what he considered the princess's use of him would become a luxury.

Wei Lan immediately came out to smooth things over, smiling respectfully at King Ryan and saying:

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, can you let me have a word with His Highness El alone?"

In fact, he just wanted to get rid of King Ryan, the idiot.

King Ryan pretended to be surprised, but the next second his eyes suddenly rolled around.

"Ah, Crown Prince Richard..."
